Someone else is perfectly free to post a full walkthrough; I chose not to, mainly because this was one of the best escape the room games I've played in a long time. I think people have a much better experience when they figure things out for themselves (with the occasional hint). It is supposed to be a challenge!

There is just about enough information in my hints, and combined with some of the other comments you shouldn't have any problems finishing the game.

JIG... why do you have so much power and following? It's not fair for you to go around bullying all these escape games into breaking down. It's not a new effect though... I've been seeing this trend for awhile.

(BTW- if you followed the "true" ending dialogue through all 3 games in this series you'd know that something very interesting is going on behind the scenes.

I don't know that much Japanese, but after the screen goes blurry for a bit in the "true end" dialogue it goes like this:
There's not much time. (I have no clue about the next bit) ---escape, from this world.

I know where the key is I just need to be able to figure out the code that I got off of the paper with the candel it says pass with a squiglie line on the top of it I am assuming this is the code but I cant understand it can some one please explain it

the CD puzzle. The hint-through isn't helpful. At first I thought I needed to connect the related symbols according to the diagram on the back of the picture, but the diagram is completely different than the CD puzzle - one is a 5x5 grid and one is a 4x4 grid. I then thought that I needed to connect the symbols in such a way as to recreate the associated letter of the same color I've seen in the room but that isn't working either. I've played with grid orientation and with the order in which I connect the symbols, but neither of those have yielded anything either. I don't know what else to try.

I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you. I struggled with it for a while, but I don't remember anything special that I did to make it work. did you find the battery? the game might want you to find all the clues first.

Everything about this was fantastic except for one thing, that being the

Bookcase Puzzle. Come on, if you solved it you know what I'm talking about

. That thing was ridiculous. Otherwise another pure genius room escape from who I would consider the masters of it. This may be my favorite one in quite a while. By the way, has anyone translated the true ending? Just curious, I really want to know what it says.

The picture shows you an example of solving the puzzle, but not that specific example. It also tells you how you can tell what to connect.
Everything on the back relates to the CD puzzle. What do you think is significant about each item?

And if you're still not sure, what is the difference between the two images? One is correct and one is not.

Okay, in the hint-thru, between "The bookcase puzzle*" and "The apples*" there is something missing. You go from, "The object should help you retrieve the next key. Also note another symbol and colour is revealed*" to "Once you've got the apples (and a clockwork key), you'll want to examine them*"...
WHAT!!!
Did I miss something???
plz someone help me with that part

Go to book case and get the diamond from the purple book in the middle.

One of the light blue books on the top shelf is a video tape, get it.

On top of the book case is some wire.

Turn left, get the hexagon from on top of the lamp.

Get the pen off the table.

Open the pen to get a note with 4 colored circles on it.

Turn left and pull out the tv then plug it in.

Play the video and take note of where the circles are on the grid, and the order in which they appear.

Go to the frame with all the squares on it and click the tiles that you just noted.

After you've played the video examine the tape to find the code for the box on the shelf.

Get the CD and the hook.

Use the hook and the wire to get the part of the frame that fell into the vase.

The code for the poker by the fireplace is 1301 (found by looking at the book case and only paying attention to the purple books.)

The wood block is actually the key for the door.

Use the poker to get the key outside of the door

Use the key to open the apple case. Collect the two apple and the clockwork key.

Eat the blue apple to get the seed.

Place the seed in the eye of the fish by the window to get the triangle.

Light the red apple on fire using the fireplace.

Place the paper from the pen over the apple to get some new codes.

The squiggle on top is the combination of the clockwork key, which you use under the couch. Think which way the keu would have to turn to follow the squiggle.

Collect the cutters and the metal square.

Place the metal shapes over the corresponding letters on the safe. Hexagon, triangle, diamond, square.

Collect the coin, and take note of the drawing of the poker on the fire.

Use the coin to open the back of the picture frame, and remove the picture, and the key.

The key is for the window by the fish. The window opens into the rain, but first you need the bowl.

Zoom in on the part of the apple bowl that joins the top half and bottom half together. Use the cutters to cut off the top half of the apple bowl, and use that to collect the rain.

Collect the handle in the corner of the window.

Pour the water on the fire, and use the poker to get the screwdriver.

Combine the screwdriver with the open pen.

Use the screwdriver to open the right door of the cabinet, and use the handle you found to open the left.

Collect the glass cylinder.

Turn on the computer and put the CD inside.

Go to the television, and use the CD file.

The CD Puzzle

The back of the picture you got from the frame explains the rules to the CD puzzle. You need to connect the like objects while using every tile on the board. The like objects are based on color you've seen through out the room. The red bird is inside the picture fram where you got the key, and connect to the red cross you saw when you got the poker, the W was green and connect to the leaf, and the # sign (found ontop of one of the books) was white and connect to the apple

This will play a video of the room and the stairs will be open over the fireplace now.

Go up the stairs and you are done!

But wait! There more (for only 3 easy payments...)!True End

You can go back to the room by clicking the bottom link in the text.

If you look at the stairs you will see a grate. Zoom in on the grate and cut the wire with the cutters.

Make a note of the p's and q's, they are the order for the clockwork key under the couch. (Right left left left right left right)

Go enter the code and get the battery.

Go back to the computer and reverse the video on the CD

Get the bag from the fireplace.

Open the bag and pour the dirt into the bowl with the seed.

Open the bag and get the sun key and use it on the panel above the fish.

You will now see IDENTITY.

Go back to the computer

Use the secret file.
The ID is ENTITY, and the PASS is WORD.

Now you have the password for the box under the shelf. This is a bit confusing. The password is *>oV. The bow (the underscore looking thing) and the brackets in the password should be ignored.

Get the plant food and put it in the plants water.

Zoom out and then zoom back in and you will see the plant has grown.

Zoom out again and click where the plant is pointing. You will find a button there.

Go to the picture with the tiles and where the green W was. There is now a handle there.

Place the items in their correct slots, cutters on the right, and the coin on the left.

The display should be green now, it's looking for a time.

Put the battery into the back of the picture frame in your inventory, then look at the front. It should now display a time.

Enter the time onto the display (imagine the numbers displayed around the dark portions, the second digit should look like a colon :)

Thanks Jay. I took your advice and tried refreshing... intially it seemed to work. At least I got to the start page, but the start/play button was disabled/missing. When refreshing after that, I got the server down message once more.

Perhaps it's a regional issue? I'm not techno-saavy enough to be sure, but I'm fairly familiar with the usual browser tricks to get a page loaded, refreshed, etc.

The server is currently drowning in requests, as far as I can tell. If it doesn't work, keep trying.

And people keep asking for a translation of the "true end" dialogue so I'm going to give it a go with the aid of an online translator. Keep in mind that this connects to the two previous games; I'll note references to the past games in parentheses. And I've arranged the conversation by speaker, so some lines that span more than one screen in the ending I've stuck in one line because it's the same person speaking.

"So, has F-01 come out of the last selection passage (Room Fake and Room Bath being the first two)? And F-02 also... He's "of the same origin" too. They'll have to decide just like that; there are a few people left. I wonder how many others can make the grade."

"Lord knows. There are only two people who have made it through the last selection so far. However, we can't explain why the people who couldn't make it (that is, not finding the "true end") were included. It's dangerous to needlessly increase the number of these stronger, more intelligent, and better sensorily equipped "Newtypes"."

"That's true... But without any intent, could they really do that? And if we reach our goal, what does it mean for them?"

"Er, umm... But that's the last duty we, as many times as we have botched it up to now, have to handle. I believe that's the only thing that can lead us to the future."

"Well, then, I'll do a little more analyzing here. Good night."

"Got it. In that case--- ..."What does it mean for them", huh? Right, that's what we thought up to now. No, maybe that's just what I wanted to believe. It's just that that was a rather pretentious belief. That was probably our crime... But that was different. And then the crime that we keep piling on to... We'll know when it's almost there. We can't repent now. ...They're our crime's ----"
(screen blurs for a moment)
"?!"
"Ohhhh... There's not much time left. ...I'm still tired, and whatever's causing it isn't good. I, no, we, have to accomplish this- the escape, from this world."

I still cant seem to load the game.. When I click on the link provided I get the page with about 75% loaded, but it remains like that.. I tried refreshing the page and it's still like that.. I tried clicking the game from the site's homepage, but still cant get it to work.. =( any help offered would be appreciated

i'm stuck. according to the walkthrough,after i click on the tiles in the correct order after viewing them on the video tape,i examine the code on the tape. then it says to get CD. something fell out but when i went to the floor and touched the vase,there is something in it but i casn;t get it. i'm confused.

put the glass you found under the TV over the fish by the window, then pour the water from the apple bowl in it and then you can add the dirt. Don't forget to grab the key in the bag after you empty the dirt.
